What Is This?
=============
The default FS9 KPDX scenery is not bad, but it's out of date and lacks jetways. I didn't set out to recreate KPDX in detail, just to make the terminal building more accurate. This enhancement has the following features:

1. A new terminal building and parking structure are now accurately sized and placed. 
2. The control tower was moved to its correct position.
3. The correct number of jetways has been added.
4. Ramp lighting has been added.
5. Some inaccuracies in the aprons and taxiways have been fixed.
6. The misaligned ILS for runway 28L has been corrected.
7. The afcad has been redone. If you are using Ultimate Traffic you should see more accurate AI traffic parking.

What's In Here?
===============
Portland_KPDX_IS.bgl
This is the main scenery file.

Portland_KPDX_execlude_X.BGL
These are the exclude fils that remove the default scenery

KPDX_Objects.bgl
Custom created Gmax objects.

KPDX terminal textures.bmp & KPDX terminal textures_LM.bmp
Textures for the custom Gmax objects.

AFX_KPDX.bgl
The modified Afcad.

Portland_KPDX_Traffic_ga.bgl
General aviation AI traffic. This file is optional.


Installation
============

1. If you have an existing add-on afcad file for KPDX, disable it.

2. Unzip Portland KPDX.zip into a temporaty location. You should end up with a folder named Portland KPDX, and inside that two folders named Scenery and Texture.

3. Move the folder Portland KPDX, in its entirety, into your Flight Simulator 9/Addon Scenery folder.

4. This scenery requires the following free scenery object libraries, all available on Avsim.com. Download and install whichever ones you don't already have.

     Library Name                          Avsim File Name

     Gate Markings SS.bgl                  gate_markings_ss.zip

Dan Reynolds' PDX Plateau Flatten file is not required but recommended if you are using Ultimate Terrain USA. The file download name is pdx_plateau_flatten.zip.

5. Run FS9. Go to the Library Manger and add the Flight Simulator 9/Addon Scenery/Portland KPDX to the active scenery list.

6. Exit and rerun FS9. Enjoy your new KPDX scenery.

This scenery was created using Gmax, Lview Pro, DXTBmp, Instant Scenery and AFX.
